“Sunderland’s Surprising Success: Régis Le Bris Sparks a French Revolution in the Championship”

**Football Daily | Sunderland’s French Revolution Sparks Excitement in the Championship** Who among us had heard of Régis Le Bris before this summer? Be honest… not many, right? Sunderland fans might have felt a bit let down by the appointment, especially after the club had been linked with high-profile names like Graham Potter, Steve Cooper, and the elusive Anglo-Belgian tactician Will Still. Instead, they welcomed Le Bris, who had just experienced relegation from Ligue 1 with Lorient. Even those who were aware of his coaching style had their doubts. Criticism of Sunderland’s ownership in the post-Netflix era has been common, but perhaps Kyril Louis-Dreyfus, the 27-year-old billionaire owner, has found a gem in Le Bris. Forget the likes of Simon Grayson, Chris Coleman, Alex Neil, and Lee Johnson—how many more have we overlooked? Under Le Bris's guidance, the Black Cats have surged to the top of the Championship, sitting five points clear after 12 matches.
